Pavel Cisar write to me via ICQ:

Reorder network adapter bindings

You probably have a dialup adapter and an Ethernet adapter for your local network. On
Windows NT and Windows 98 you can reverse the bindings order of the two adapters to
force the Ethernet adapter to service the TCP/IP request before the dialup adapter tries.

Get to the control panel from the Start menu and choose
Networking | Bindings | All Adapters | Move Down
to move the Ethernet adapter to the top of the list of bindings. The local Ethernet adapter
satisfies any local TCP/IP requests and passes on any remaining requests—such as
Internet requests—to the next adapter in the list, the dialup adapter.

Thank you Pavel.
